The Truth Behind Residential Solar Myths

Since their introduction to the residential sector, solar panels have seen a surge in popularity as one of the most practical additions to any home. The prospect of reducing or even completely eliminating your electric bill is hard to resist.

Despite this, the popularity of solar panels means there are a lot of myths associated with them. In this post, Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. discusses the truth behind common residential solar myths.

Myth 1: Solar Panels Are Expensive: While it’s true that originally solar installation could set you back a couple hundred dollars, this isn’t the case these days. It costs less to finance a residential solar energy system than purchasing electricity from your local utility.

Contrary to what myths will tell you, purchasing a solar rig doesn’t mean you have to pay it all in cash. The fact that there are several different financing options available these days means solar panels are more accessible than ever.

Myth 2: Solar Panels Lower Home Value: The truth is actually quite the opposite. Recent studies show that many homeowners see solar panels as upgrades similar to a finished basement, attic space, or a renovated kitchen. The truth is, that many prospective homeowners are actually willing to pay a premium just to get their hands on a house with an existing solar rig. While we’re not saying you should sell your home with solar equipment, it’s nice to know that your photovoltaic system actually increases your home’s value.

Myth 3: Solar Doesn’t Work in Certain Climates: This is another common misconception. Solar systems really only need one thing: light from the sun. Even during winter with fewer hours of daylight, there would still be ample sunlight powering your photovoltaic panels. As long as there’s enough sunlight, you can be sure your solar panels are paying themselves off.

As your local solar panel company, we can help you get great savings on your electric bill with our photovoltaic system. Call us today to learn more. We install solar panels throughout Oakland and other parts of California.

Nick is very well educated on the products industry. He has been in the industry for years now and knows more than anyone else I have spoken to. Its very refreshing to have the owner of the company come out to talk to you about your options compared to a door to door sales guy who cant even answer the most basic questions. Im very happy with the service and attention to detail.

These guys actually know what they are doing and do what they say they are going to do. They are capable in many areas including installing solar panels, Tesla batteries and also HVAC. They complete the whole job with their own employees rather than using outside contractors. We were really pleased with the results on three separate jobs. Thanks.

Nick and Green Air installed our Solar One year ago, it has exceeded its projected output and works great! The work was started and completed on time and Green Air completed all the extra work such as getting permits from the city of Benicia. Green Air employees cleaned up their work site daily and they were a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that we have shrunk our carbon footprint.
